Mr., Randall and the Tariff.

Just before his departure from Wash
ingtOn for Atlanta, Mr.. Randall was in
duced to say something about the tariff,
though it was very little. He would
not discuss propositions that may come
before congress next winter, and re-
ferred to his well-known views on reve-
nue. matters rs a sufficient answer to
all inquiries regarding his future course.
He did venture so far, however, as to
say that he is in favor OF revision, but
opposed to the destruction OF the tariff.
He also reaftirmed his position respect
ing the internal revenue taxes, which
he desires abolished because they are
war taxes and are opposed the genius of
the government.
There is really nothing reassuring in
this last conversation of Mr..
Randall. 1t does not show
that his views or intentions have un-
dergone any change, or afford any
ground for expecting that his attitude
on this question in the next congress
will be different from that he held in
the last two congresses. His claim that
he has been prepared for several years
to assist in the revision Of the tariff is
worth very little in view of the char
aeter OF the revision he desires. The
plan of Mr.. Randall, like that of all the
protectionists, is not the plan which
would give the necessary relief to- the
| people. He has not and will not pro-
pose reduction OF duties on those arti-
cles which are necessities in every
home and on every farm in the land
but on the contrary has and will con-
tiuue to oppose any such reduction.
| Just what he would be willing to
| yield, in order to accomplish
the abandonment of the internal
revenue taxes, cannot be stated with
certainty, but it can be very onfidently
said that it would not include iron
lumber, coal, salt, cotton and wooler
goods, or any one of them. Yet revi
sion which should entirely exclude
them would give very little relief t.
the people.
Mr.. Randall says he is opposed to the
destruction OF the tariff. How man,
people does he know OF who are not
But it is obviously absurd to maintain
that in order 10 save IL from destruc
tion it is necessary to continue tht

ment that the internal revenue take

The NebraSk0 Democracy.

In the face of more than twenty-five
thousand majority and without the
faintest shadow of hope TO carry the
state, the Nebraska democracy have
again gone through the farce of nomi-
mating q state ticket. The standard
bearers have the proud satisfaction and
assurance that their memory is to be
emb0lmed for all time in the political
almanacs for 1888. 1t is not our pur-
pose at this time to review their
past career or discuss their fit
ness for the positions which
nobody in or out Of the convention ex-
poets them to fill. Suffice It to say that
some men are born great while others
have greatness thrust upon them.
The platform of the Nebraska democ-
racy abounds in the time-worn plati-
tudes "that palter with US in double
sense; that keep the word Of promise to
our ear, and break it to our hope" "
With the exception of its endorsement
of the national democratic administra-
tion, it is almost literally stereotyped
copy of the platforms for which DR.. Miller
has held letters patent for more than
fifteen years.

wc,come IN the President.

To-day the president OF the United
States will for q short time be the guest
OF Omaha. When he arrives here he
will have reached the limit OF his jour
ney westward, though he will have PEN
etrated little beyond what is now recog-
nized as the eastern boundary OF the
great west. Onward toward the set
ting sun stretches vast territory, from
the larger part Of which states are yet
to be carved out, and which will in time
give homes to millions Of people, with
bustling cities, every variety OF indus
try, productive farms. and all the pos
sessions and conditions OF the highest
forms OF civilization. Here, indeed,
is the gateway to this great region
with all its rich stores OF
developed and undeveloped wealth,
which within another generation is to
contribute immeasurably to the prosper
ity Of the nation.
In this young, vigorous and growing
metropolis Mr.. Cleveland will find one
OF the best evidences that has been pre-
sented in his journey Of what American
energy and enterprise can accomplish.
We take it that he has not failed to in
form himself regarding the history OF
Omaha, the youngest city OF its popula-
tion, wealth and commercial impor-
tance on the continent, but observation
will do more than all the facts and fig
ures he could CLEAN to convince him
that here indeed is one OF the phenome-
nal developments of the last
twenty years. Having personal in
terest in Omaha, Mr.. Cleveland
will not fail to duly consider what has
been accomplished toward making this
a great city in order that he may esti-
mate the possibilities of the future. He
will hardly find itpossible to regard the
outlook otherwise than most encourag-
ing.
Omaha will give the president most
cordial and sincere welcome. This
community yields to no other in its
respect for the presidential Office. Mr..
Cleveland may find here less of that
| wildly demonstrative enthusiasm than
| he has encountered at some other
points on his trip, but he will have no
reason to doubt the heartiness of his re-
| ception or the earnestness of his well
come. Every citizen, regardless of polit-
ical affiliations, will join in paying honor
to the chief executive of the republic.
| And the handsome, accomplished and
amiable wife of the president will re.
ceive her full share of the popular in.
tcrest and attention. She has filed hel
position with modest dignity that re-
fleets honor on American womankind
and has justly commended her to uni
versal admiration.
| Omaha is decorated in the emblems
of liberty and union, and extends tC
the president of the United States it,
hcartest and sincerest welcome.

Carlisle's Miserable Depot.

Dies MONIES, Ia, Oct. 1.-lSpecial Tele-
gram to the BEE. THE railroad commission
ers recently received letter from A. B.

The Grain Movement.

The situation in the grain market
during the past week showed no i'm
provement as to prices over the previ-
Gus two or three weeks. The movement
of grain toward the east is largely on
the increase, however, and in some
quarters; especially in the northwest,
complaints are heard over the inability
or Indifference OF the railroads in sup
plying cars rs fast as they are needed.
Competition between the large elevator
companies and shippers Of smaller lots
has become very sharp in consequence.
The farmers claim that the elevator COM
binatiOns get more than their share OF
the cars, while the latter argue that
they ought to have, because Of the much
greater bulk of grain to be moved.
Dakota wheat growers are discussing
the feasibility of building and equipping
a north and south road along the
Minnesota boundary to reach the wheat
markets, to be operated for their own
benefit exclusively. They hope by this
means to avoid paying the large tributes
to the railroad monopolies now exacted,
and thereby secure greater profits from
agricultural labors than they now OBJ
tain. More extended cooperation
among the farmers of the country would
no doubt result in bringing many Of the
monopolies now preying upon them,
to terms.

most noted forger of this country, walked
out of Sing Sing yesterday morning, having

he has all his faculties clear and bright, and

THERE is very little probability that
Mr.. Conkling will reappear in politics,
but the report that he is being vigor-
ously urged to do so by prominent re-
publicans of New York is by no means
incredible. The unbounded esteem of
the ex-senator for General Grant would
be very likely to give him strong in
terest in behalf of Colonel Grant, who
is the republican candidate for secre-
tary OF state, and this is said to be the
lever employed to bring the ex-senator
back into the political arena. Were he
to enter the campaign and Colonel
Grant should win, it is easy to see that
the credit OF victory would go most
largely to Mr.. Conkling and he might
at will resume his position as a
commanding power in the repub-
lican party. This would cer-
tainly not be to the advan-
tage of Mr.. Blaine, but it would appear
that the leading republicans of New
York are not solicitous on this point.
Nor should they be. The first duty
with them is to win the battle this fall,
which accomplished the task of the
future will be n much less difficult one.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Conkling could con-
tribute very greatly to this result, but
it is hardly to be expected that he will
abandon his repeatedly expressed de-
termination never again to enter poll

WASHINGTON, Oct. n.-(Special Telegram
to tho BEE. 1.-The president and Mrs. Clcvc
land upon returning to Washington will find
the white house thoroughly renovated; car
pets laid, curtains hung and all tho furniture
put in order for tho several requirements of
the winter. The outside of the house was
painted this season. At the last session OF
congress u number Of bills that had received
favorable action of the two houses were laid
before the president on the last day, and
some Of these failed to receive his approval,
mainly because there was not sufficient time
to give them proper examination prior TO
the dissolution of congress Chief among
these was the river and harbor appropriation
bill. Friends OF that measure were very
much disappointed Mt this refusal of the
president to sign tho bill, and after the ad-
journment made vigorous efforts TO conv inco
him that measure passed by congress on
the last day of the session could be legally
signed by the president within the ten days
allowed by the constitution for his examina-
ton. The river and harbor men were per-
sstent in their opportunities and arguments
but the president refused TO adopt their
views 1t is reported that this question will
be presented to the supreme court for I'D
tudication and that the court will be urged to
advance the case so that an early decision

THE cotton crop is being marketed
earlier than usual this year, and it is ex
pected to have marked effect upon
gold shipments to the United States this
fall. During September more than SOO,-
900 bales were sent to market, repre-
senting money value of $32,OOO,OO
which the south will speedily realize.
This is said to be by far the largest crop
ever marketed so early in the year, and
the expense of handling it has caused a
drain from New York and other cities
which has helped the stringency Of
money, but nearly 100000 bales were
shipped to Europe last month, which
makes foreign exchange to the extent
Of $1O,OO0,0O0. The exports of cotton
will undoubtedly be still larger for some
time yet, so that it is difficult to see how
Europe can avoid sending us much more
gold. There is a good deal in this prom
ise to reassure the money market.
